Title: Amma’s Living Statement on Carbon Emissions Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on May 02, 2023 08:03 am https://apple.news/AMaL-AE2oR0W1LPkeq-dN8w Private plane usage has skyrocketed over the past couple of years, as the pandemic divided people into their own bubbles. It all means that the wealthiest 1% is responsible for a Godzilla-size carbon footprint, with the report arguing that 1% of the population are likely responsible for half of all air-related carbon emissions. And Musk, the top of the 1%, is an even bigger proportion within that small group. The affluent’s greater share of pollution has led the IPS and Patriotic Millionaires to call for a jet fuel tax. Recommending Musk pay an extra $3.94 million in taxes—a drop in the (dwindling) water for Musk, who, even with his Twitter shopping spree taking out at least a $20 billion chunk of his fortune, is worth $187.1 billion. Since Amma refused a free jet ( offered by one of her devotees) for her tours because of the example it would give to others. We see that saints and Masters do make their social and political statements by their living example. |
